TexBlog PAC Shatters Goals


by: Matt Glazer

Sun Apr 06, 2008 at 09:53 AM CDT


(Bumped for the weekday crowd. Thank you! - promoted by Karl-Thomas Musselman)

On April 1st, we asked you to help make Tom Craddick and his top lieutenants April Fools--  All it was going to take was 50 donors to give $1,500. You exceeded our wildest expectations and 56 people gave an amazing $2110.

Just days before, 50 readers from across the country chipped in an equally impressive $1772.09 during our convention coverage. That means in one week, TexBlog has 106 new donors and has raised $3782.09 to take back the Texas House!

With your generosity, TexBlog PAC will now be able to make its first endorsement before Summer and begin raising the funds we need to endorse 4 more challengers.  Our endorsement will come with $5,000, an e-mail to over 40,000 people throughout the state, and constant fundraising from now until November.  This early support will be the difference between winning and losing.  It will be the difference between a Democratic House or one controlled by out of touch ultra-conservative Republicans like Tom Craddick, Warren Chisum, Frank Corte, and many many others.

We asked for some support to achieve these goals, and you did so much more.  Now we can prove that we are a source of change.  106 donors and $3782.09 later, we have proven we are committed to our cause.

I know House candidates are all gonna be clammoring for this money. (0.00 / 0)
From endangered incumbents to fresh challengers like Ginny McDavid.

Reform of campaign Finance and Redistricting (0.00 / 0)
I was one of the donors to your recent campaign.

May I request that you apply a criteria to each candidate you support that they agree to champion the public financing of campaigns, and non partisan redistricting reform.  

It is in the interest of all of us to create a level playing field for the most pragmatic, independent and open minded candidates willing to run for office. While allowing them to be free of special interest influence.
